評價教學內容	#1 There're two parts in the course. Literature part is a little bit too easy but Linguistics part is quite complicated. Course content quite simple. Quiz and assignment hard
評價教員教學	#1 Dr. Li (Literature) talks quite 1999 and kinda boring. Always play Graham Norton's video lol. Dr. Wong's explanation is quite clear, down-to-earth, but not so good at time management as she left out lots of content that not enough time for explanation.
CUSIS科目資料	Description： Using language is one of the most creative and distinctive of all the activities that make us human. Perhaps we are most aware of this kind of creativity when we read imaginative literature, whether classic or contemporary; but we also experience it directly in our own everyday language use. This course aims to foster new understandings of the various ways in which language influences and shapes the experiences of life common to all humanity. Students learn to analyze and appreciate a wide range of literary, linguistic and cultural phenomena, including the works of Hong Kong authors/poets who express themselves through English. From a linguistic perspective, we examine the ways in which language is structured and used creatively for different purposes in both local and global contexts. From a literary perspective, we study not only the traditional genres of fiction, poetry, and drama, but also film, song, and life writing. From a cultural perspective, we investigate how different texts and media are part of how we construct the world and define our evolving sense of self and our common humanity.  Learning Outcome： Upon successful completion of this course students should be better able to:  - describe the central role of language in the creation and discovery of meaning; - demonstrate a critical appreciation of the ways in which form, structure, and language shape meanings in literary texts; - discuss the historical contexts of the globalization of English and their cultural consequences; - synthesize information and ideas drawn from various sources, and evaluate critically opposing positions; - describe how language and literature express individual and human values within an historical and sociocultural context; - think imaginatively and analytically, and develop creative, ethical solutions to problems; - express ideas with clarity, coherence, creativity, and fluency in both written and oral communication; - use these new understandings as a basis for further studies in the humanities.
